Summary
- Jisshu Sengupta shares screen space with Kajol in The Trial
- Praises Kajol's dedication and spontaneity as an actor
- Believes Kajol's spontaneity pushes co-stars to perform better
As of October 25th, 2025, Bengali actor Jisshu Sengupta has been sharing the screen with Bollywood star Kajol in the latest season of the legal drama The Trial. Sengupta, who has previously worked with Kajol's mother Tanuja, is all praise for his co-star's dedication and spontaneous approach to acting.
Recalling his connection with Kajol's family, Sengupta says he was "shaking with nervousness" while working with Tanuja in the Bengali film Sonar Pahar, where they played mother and son. Now, Sengupta finds Kajol's spontaneity to be one of the most fulfilling aspects of being part of The Trial. He explains that with a spontaneous actor like Kajol, you can't predict or learn their "tricks" as the reactions are captured only when the camera is rolling.
Sengupta believes Kajol's spontaneity actually pushes her co-stars to do better, as they have to react to her in-the-moment performance. He firmly believes that "acting is more about reacting than delivering lines," and in Kajol, he has found a partner who elevates that dynamic on screen.
